Harvard Walking Tour

Discover the most distinguished university in the world with this guided walking tour around Harvard. You'll come across its important sites and learn about student traditions and the 'Veritas' motto.

Harvard Walking Tour

At your selected time, we'll meet at the Harvard metro, located at 1376 Massachusetts Ave. Your tour guides, current students, will take you to the symbolic Johnson Gate, one of the campus entrances.

During the tour, we will not be able to go inside the buildings, but we will admire their beautiful façades and grounds.

We'll stop in front of the statue of John Harvard, the university's first benefactor. To embrace the tradition, touch the statue's foot for good luck; notable figures such as Obama, Kennedy, and Roosevelt have done it.

Next, we'll visit Memorial Hall, a Victorian building honoring Harvard students who fought in the American Civil War. The tour will pass by Widener Library, the largest on campus, which contains over three million books.

Then, we'll admire the Memorial Church and the Harvard Lampoon headquarters, a student magazine first published in 1876, with contributions from writers like John Updike and Conan O'Brien.

Finally, we will conclude the tour at the emblematic Winthrop Park after one hour and ten minutes.
